Offcuts are more than waste. They can represent tied-up cash, reusable material or a sign that calculations and cutting need review.
Identify the source
Record whether an offcut resulted from a bar, a cut, changed dimensions, an error or overbuying. Without a cause, the number cannot guide improvements.
Separate reusable material from scrap
Classify dimensions, condition and possible uses. A simple rule prevents available material being mixed with permanent waste.
Compare against the quote
Compare planned, purchased and consumed material to adjust waste allowances and the next proposal.
